ISight I always wondered, how about taking photos throught console? I mean, without using PhotoBooth. Making bash scripts that use the built-in camera would be awesome! One easy way is installing isightcapture.

This is how you can use it $ ./isightcapture image.jpg will output a 640x480 image in JPEG format $ ./isightcapture -w 320 -h 240 -t png image.png will output a scaled 320x240 image in PNG format Note: Seems the project has been discontinued.

Everytime you open an media file, it will opens with Itunes or Quicktime Player. What if i want to be open always with a third party app? (Like Vlc for example). Of course you can always make right clic , "Open With" and select the desire player...thats one way. BUT, you can set Vlc as default player for CERTAINS filetypes like this way.Right clic onto a avi file. Select "Get info" option.Go to "Open with" tab and select the media player you want.Then clic "Change All..." button (That will associate avi file types with Vlc).Thats all! Note:This works for avi files, dunno with others filetypes.
